    Default Alternator problem

    Brought a new alternator less than 2 weeks ago, started the nova today to here a rattling noise, further inspection and it seems or sounds to be the bearings are shot in it.
    How can this be possible in 2 weeks?

    Check the bottom pulley is not loose as I believed that my alternator was noisy and it turned out to be the bottom pulley.
